Songs:I Live A Lie (96416)

Lyrics

I’ve got a little room inside my little house
Where I hide all my little lies
There’s a moat all around that surrounds
Keeping all faultless from coming inside

I gloat at other’s misfortunes
It validates all the married years
All the moments on the couch
And all the bills for the meds and all the tears

CHORUS:
I need you to fall, I need you to try
I need you to fail, I need you to cry
I need you to make me feel alive
Too painful to voice the truth inside
I Live A lie

The kids have grown up and lost faith in me
Like transparent screens let flies in
After they’re slammed and banged for 20 years
They barely hang off a rusted hinge

Seems as if there’s someone always mad at me
But it’s better than hangin’ alone
They ignore me with anger and silence
And that confirms this is where I belong

CHORUS

Don’t stand in the light when I count my beads
'Cause the angle makes me look so damn sincere
I'll blot at my eyes, as you tell me your woeful tale
But when the bank repos an’ sells your life
I’ll be the first at the sale

CHORUS
